The sound of the "booming" cannonball explosion was like a heavy drum, which made Sen Mu's heart beat wildly, watching his soldiers fall one by one in a pool of gunsmoke and blood, Sen Mu, who had the highest rank, couldn't help but grit his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot. It's a pity that he can only watch his soldiers die one by one, but he can't do anything, this time the opponent is too cunning and tough, first using the explosives that have been planted long ago to create panic while killing and injuring a large number of his own soldiers, and then rocket bombardment, and heavy machine gun intensive strafing, coupled with accurate bombardment mortars, his side can't be defeated.

The Thunder troops are really terrible, if they are given another large-caliber artillery team, such a strong firepower will soon catch up with the firepower intensity of the Japanese division and regiment. At this time, Sen Mu felt a little lost and regretful in his heart, how could he be willing to listen to the persuasion of the captain of the forward soldiers, Wu Xiang, and send the soldiers to reconnoiter the terrain here in advance, maybe such a situation can be avoided, if Sen Mu is given a chance to start over, Sen Mu will even refuse this task of escorting ammunition by pretending to be sick, and it is better to be an opponent with Thunder than to cut his abdomen.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, we are short of ammunition, at most hold on for another half an hour, and the soldiers will have no bullets in their guns" Just when Moriki was thinking about finding a chance to live, something even worse happened, and a squad leader under Moriki came over with a black face to report that their bullets were not enough. The attack came so suddenly, and the soldiers and officers under Morimu were unprepared, and it was only their old training that had the effect of their old training, but no one dared to run back to the road to get ammunition in such a dense rain of bullets.

"Hold on, the telegram for help has been sent, there are imperial strongholds around us, they will come to us soon to ask for help, we must hold on" It is not the first time that Moriki has taken this road, he knows the Japanese strongholds on this road well. In particular, Licheng and Dongyang Pass are the closest to here, and the situation is urgent, and Sen Mu believes that as long as they can hold out for another hour, reinforcements will definitely come to rescue them. But these are just Moriki's wishful thinking, the real problem is that their ammunition is really not enough, as time goes by, many of Moriki's soldiers have stopped shooting, they have run out of bullets.

As the gunfire on the Senmu side weakened, the three battalions that surrounded them also stopped shooting, and they didn't have a lot of ammunition after the long journey, and seeing that the besieged Japanese troops were already at the end of their rope, the officers of the three battalions immediately ordered to stop shooting and save bullets. "Shout, tell them to put down their guns and surrender" Thunder has fought with the Japanese army since its formation, and it is rare to leave the captured Japanese soldiers, but Zhao Zhi took the initiative to persuade him to surrender at this time, not because he was benevolent or conscience, he kept the prisoners and other purposes.

The Japanese soldiers who were willing to put down their guns and raise their hands were all collected by the Jewish soldiers with big shoulders and round waists with their hands tied behind the belts of the Japanese army. Explosives, bazookas, mortars, Browning heavy machine guns, after many strong firepower strikes, plus the three battalions rushed down, the Japanese temporary defense line has collapsed, and the Jewish soldiers who have been attacked like a rainbow have been divided into more than a dozen encirclements, and the hill where Morimu is located is the largest of them.

"It's not uncommon for these guys to come down and surrender, and bring in mortars to bomb this place, don't let any of them go" Woodhouse, the commander of the third battalion, was a little black-faced after being wounded by bullets fired from the hill. In the telescope, you can see the Japanese soldier Nakasa with a command knife on the mountain, Woodhouse originally wanted to catch Zhao Zhi to invite credit, but now it seems that this bullshit Japanese Nakasa is a hard bone, since this is the case, then send them to hell.

The mortars mobilized from a distance have been selected, and the gunners are doing the final gun range calculation, these things, the forest wood on the mountain can see them clearly, he has the heart to take his soldiers and officers down to surrender, but as an officer, he really can't pull this face, and none of the guys under his command are stupid to come out to make a round, to find a reason or steps for himself to surrender down the mountain. "Sen Mu just wanted to raise the commander in his hand and shout surrender, but the artillery commander under the mountain had already waved down the red hand flag, and the mortar shells that fell from the air turned into flames and smoke, engulfing Sen Mu and his men on the mountain.

The sound of gunfire had changed from weakness to stopping, and the hour-long ambush was over, except for some of the Japanese who had fled desperately down the hill into the woods, and the rest of the Japanese had been left behind. The battle went smoothly, even Zhao Zhi himself did not expect that most of the 2,000 Japanese soldiers escorting supplies were killed by them, counting the captured part of the Japanese army, the 2,000-strong Senmu Brigade only escaped more than 200 people, if you can not consider the more than 100 Jewish soldiers who were killed and injured during the charge, this ambush battle can be regarded as a big victory.

Dozens of detonated cars were still burning, and occasional explosions reminded everyone that this was still a battlefield, and the entire stretch of road was littered with craters of explosives and shells, and thick, burnt black smoke filled the valley. Burning cars, cars blown up by explosives bags, corpses of Japanese soldiers, Zhao Zhi silently watched all this under the embrace of Xiao Ziyun and others, adhering to the tradition of mercenaries, thousands of Jewish soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, gathering those weapons and ammunition that could still be used and a dozen trucks that were not affected by the explosion.

"Let's go, go over and look at the Japanese ammunition trucks, and see what good things are there" After looking at the wounded Jewish soldiers, Zhao Zhi turned to the side of the intact trucks. The ambush battle is over, but in the face of piles of ammunition and materials, coupled with the transfer of troops, it still takes several hours, and these hours need to be fought for slowly by blocking troops. Zhao Zhi inspected the ammunition truck, not to take away these Japanese ordnance, after choosing this place as an ambush position, Zhao Zhi used the radio to inform the Chinese Communists, but they did not send troops or guerrillas to help, so this batch of weapons and ammunition naturally did not have their share.

"Sir, brothers have seen it, most of these trucks are rifles, bullets and uniforms, only one car was loaded with Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns, only 10 units, mortars and grenadiers were not found, it is estimated that they were destroyed by our explosives package" Tang Lei, the scout commander who led the team to guard the truck, was a little silent. Their 4,000 men only have 100 machine guns and more than 20 mortars, which is indeed stronger than the firepower of the same national army and even the Japanese army, but in the eyes of the mercenaries who have long been accustomed to the supremacy of firepower, this idea is still a little insufficient.

Before the ambush began, Tang Lei and the scouts who went out to serve as intelligence reconnaissance followed the truck to find another opportunity to attack, and after the explosive package buried on the mountain road broke out, Tang Lei took advantage of the chaos to control the last dozen trucks and immediately withdrew from the battle group. Tang Lei originally hoped to find heavy weapons suitable for mercenaries from these dozen trucks, but after lifting the tarpaulin, Tang Lei was instantly dumbfounded, the boxes in the carriage were not young and old, and when he opened it, it was not a rifle, a bullet, or a military uniform or a military shoe kettle or something, the firepower of the Type 92 heavy machine gun was good, but compared with the Browning heavy machine gun, the Type 92 heavy machine gun was simply synonymous with stupidity and simplicity.

"Didn't we take some prisoners? Arrange for them to find a place to dig a pit and bury these rifles and bullets, these are all money, enough for the brothers to marry and build a house" Zhao Zhi was quite optimistic, and hurriedly ordered the third battalion of Woodhouse to be responsible for burying these booty and captured weapons and ammunition, "The heavy weapons are divided into two groups, the first battalion goes to Majiawa to strengthen the firepower to block the reinforcements sent from the direction of Dongyangguan in Licheng, and the second battalion goes to Chunshuling to strengthen the firepower to block the reinforcements sent from the direction of Shexian, and after fighting the Japanese troops who rushed to the rescue, let's withdraw again"

The Jewish soldiers, who were eager to squeeze oil from the soil, widened their eyes and searched the entire battlefield, even the ammunition on the corpses, and found more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, more than a dozen 60 mortars and three 75 mountain guns, as well as a lot of other rifles, grenadiers, grenades, and grenades. The main purpose of Zhao Zhi's ambush here was to cut off the Japanese army in North China from transporting weapons and ammunition to Shanxi, and the captured materials were only secondary, but now these things belong to the thunder, and there is no reason to ignore them, so Zhao Zhi only left mortars and grenadiers, and packed and buried other things.

Soon after the ambush on Zhao Zhi's side, Captain Morimu, who had fled to the small mountain bag, sent a telegram asking for help to the Japanese headquarters in North China. After receiving Senmu's urgent telegram for help, the entire Japanese headquarters in North China was shaken, you know, these ammunition materials can supply tens of thousands of soldiers on the Shanxi front for a month's consumption, if destroyed, then half of the Japanese troops on the Jinzhong front line will have no ammunition replenishment, and will even be defeated by the Chinese army because of logistical supply problems.

Soon, a telegram was sent from the headquarters of the Japanese army in North China to various strongholds around Xiangtangpu, asking each stronghold to draw up as many troops as possible to rescue the trapped Senmu Brigade and ensure the safety of this batch of ammunition. Of course, even if the headquarters of the Japanese army in North China did not send a telegram of order, the Japanese troops in Licheng and Dongyang Pass would be dispatched, because while Moriki was preparing to ask for help from the Japanese army in North China, he also sent a telegram asking for help to the nearby Japanese strongholds. It only takes less than an hour and a half for Licheng to march quickly from Xiangtangpu, and when the battle has just begun, the earth-shattering explosion can be heard clearly in Licheng, not to mention the Dongyang Pass stronghold that is closer to Xiangtangpu.
